Tucanoan languages
Tucanoan (also Tukanoan, Tukánoan) is a language family of Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru.

There are two dozen Tucanoan languages. There is a clear binary split between Eastern Tucanoan and Western Tucanoan.
Plus unclassified Miriti.†
Most languages are, or were, spoken in Colombia.
Internal classification by Jolkesky (2016):
